The 2021 BMW M4 is priced at an MSRP of $71,800 and $74,700 for the track focussed Competition Coupe, excluding the $995 destination charge. The extra money for the 2021 M4 Competition Coupe brings an additional 30 HP of power and 73 lb-ft of torque over the standard M4. There are 8 colors on offer. Two nonmetallic ones - Alpine White and Sao Paulo Yellow are free of charge, but if you pick any other color out of the six, the MSRP increases by $550.

BMW M4 has a long list of standalone features but we would go for lightweight and slick looking M Carbon bucket seats for the inside. On the outside, add M Carbon trim for carbon fiber parts, all at additional expenses.

The 2021 BMW M4 Coupe is a perfect package that does the street and track duties honestly. The M coupe combines ample features, competitive price, and most importantly the insane-levels of performance. Though its new looks bag mixed reviews, the 2021 M4 makes for one the most powerful 4 series models ever. The car is priced slightly more than the outgoing model but is in line with other German rivals.

The base M4 trim, which is not actually a base model, as BMW has everything covered in the coupe. Though our favorite is the BMW M4 Competition, as it gives more power to tap. You can opt for available packages and standalone options as per requirements but the Carbon Fibre seats are a must along with the M Carbon package.

"For those keeping track, that's an increase of 48 hp (but no torque change) for the base engine, and 59 hp and 73 lb-ft for the Competition." - Automobilemag.com

The engine in the 2021 M4 is a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 motor producing 473 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque, while in the M4 Competition, the same powertrain makes 503 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. That's 48 hp more than the 2020 BMW M4 and 59 hp and 73 lb-ft of torque in the new Competition models over previous Competition package-equipped cars.

The 2021 BMW M4 comes with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, but you can opt for the available eight-speed torque converter as well. The more powerful 2021 M4 Competition, on the other hand, offers the 8-speed automatic which also gets a similar launch control system as the 2021 BMW M8. The carbon fiber finished paddle shifters with the 8-speed gearbox feel premium and sturdy.

Rear-wheel-drive is standard but for the first time, BMW will offer 2021 M4 Competition with an all-wheel-drive system. That follows a full catalog of BMW's M Performance parts including adaptive dampers, electrically-controlled lightweight titanium exhaust systems. You can control the loudness of the exhaust using the M Sound button. Also, the AWD BMW M4 xDrive is slated to launch in summer 2021.

Among the rivals, the 2021 M4 is the flag bearer with the most horses under the hood. The upgraded S58 engine in M4 and competition models pack a punch. The Lexus RC F's power figures are slightly behind in terms of numbers while the Mercedes-AMG E53 has the least power output. 

The new S58 powerplant allows the 2021 M4 Coupe to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds on the way to a top speed of 155 mph or 180 mph for the M Driver’s Package. The more powerful 2021 M4 Competition model reduces 0 to 60 mph acceleration time to 3.8 seconds and sees similar top speeds. All of this backed by the raw, unadulterated exhaust note.

The BMW M4 comes with a carbon-fiber roof to make the chassis stiffer and lower the center of gravity for better stability in fast corners. Despite this, the M4  and the M4 Competition both weigh around 3830 pounds- that’s more than the outgoing models. Speaking of rivals, the Mercedes AMG E53's 0-60 time is at par with that of the Bimmer. Meanwhile, the Audi RS 5 does a 0-60 in 3.9 seconds, same as that of the RC F.

The 2021 BMW M4 Coupe's gas mileage is estimated at 18 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highways. Sum it up, and the 2021 BMW M4 Coupe is good for a combined 20 mpg.

However, it also gets the smallest fuel tank capacity with 15.6 gallons. The BMW M4 still manages a driving range of more than 300 miles in mixed driving conditions. The 3.0L Inline 6 cylinder is more focused on performance rather than efficiency.

Looking at the rivals, the Mercedes-AMG E53 Coupe with a combined mpg of 23 performs really very well in the fuel economy department. The M4 coupe also has decent fuel efficiency while Lexus RC F's mpg figures stand last for galloping the most gas per mile.

"In the cabin, the coolest new optional feature are the electric M Carbon bucket seats, which adjust lower than the standard M sport seats and weigh 21 pounds less while providing cutouts for a multi-point harness" - Motortrend.com

The new interiors of the 2021 BMW M4 Coupe share the layout with the latest BMW 3 Series and BMW 4 series but with racing-inspired equipment and materials. BMW has given the M4 the M treatment inside too. The M Sport steering wheel with M-coloured stitching and programmable M driving mode buttons alongside a red starter button look sporty. The M-badged gear lever and carbon-fiber trim come standard as well.

The interior has a premium build quality and the 2021 M4's cabin has more room than before. The second-gen M4 rides over a longer wheelbase and is wider too, thus offers more legroom and shoulder room than the 2020 model. 

To further elevate the sporting feel inside, you can go for the M Sport seats that come with built-in M logos along with two-tone trim, though at an extra cost. Even better are the optional carbon-fiber bucket seats. Standard seats are comfortable and are wrapped in premium Merino leather.

Speaking of practicality, the 2021 BMW M4 offers a trunk capacity of 15.5 cubic feet, which is really impressive when compared to segment standards. As all of these cars are coupe they have got a huge liftback tailgate and opens up a good amount of room for cargo.

"Drive It Fast. Maybe Nobody Will Notice the Grille" - Edmunds.com

A number of changes have been made to the exterior design of the 2021 BMW M4 Coupe, which enjoys greater differentiation from its 4 Series siblings than ever before. The new flared fenders cover the wider tires and track while the grille is the most talked-about aspect. M4's front end is comprehensively redesigned, and the black used for the grille inserts is a huge visual improvement while M4 gets a heavily sculpted hood. 

In the rear, you will find the typical diffuser, 4.0-inch exhaust tips, and a lip spoiler. Still, most of the added flair we mentioned before comes from carbon fiber accents and equipment. An optional M Carbon exterior package adds carbon-fiber on the front air intakes, rear diffuser, exterior mirror caps, and rear spoiler. Full LED headlights with fiber-optic daytime running lights are standard, with adaptive Laserlight lamps available as an option.

Dimensionally, the new 2021 M4 Coupe is 4.6-inches longer, 0.7-inches wider, 0.4-inches higher, and with a 1.8-inch longer wheelbase than the 2020 M4 model that it replaces. The BMW offers less ground clearance than that of its rivals but has the most width. 

The 2021 BMW M4 hasn’t been crash-tested by the NHTSA or by the IIHS, however, the 2020 model received the highest 5-star ratings for overall safety. As a brand, BMW is known to be reliable despite the presence of a lot of electronics, working in the background.

The M4 models benefit from the body and chassis enhancements over the non-M counterparts. Just be assured, BMW equips the M4 with extensive and cutting-edge standard driver assistance systems. The M4 Coupe features many driver assistance technologies as standard such as

• Park Distance Control
• Automatic High beam assistant
• Active Protection and Active Driving Assistant.
• Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go
• Extended Traffic Jam Assistant for limited access highways
• Active Lane Keeping Assistant 
• Active Blind Spot Detection
• Evasion Aid
• Emergency Stop Assistant

2021 BMW M4 Coupe vs Mercedes Benz AMG E 53 Coupe

The two most luxurious brands in the industry, the BMW and the Mercedes compete very closely in the segment.

In terms of performance, the Mercedes is ahead of the BMW, but BMW is better than the former in terms of space and looks.

2021 BMW M4 Coupe vs Audi RS 5

The 2021 M4's price point gives it a heavy edge over the 2021 RS 5, but hey, Audi's Quattro AWD system is offered as standard here. This also means that with the 2021 M4, you can have the luxury of sliding out at curves - something absent in the RS 5. In terms of features, Audi's tech is certainly ahead in its segment, but considering that the iDrive now supports Android Auto, it might just surpass the former. That said, the standard 2021 M4 also boasts of 29 extra horses over the RS 5 and for over $4000 cheaper MSRP, we think the Bavarian makes a stronger point here.

2021 BMW M4 Coupe vs Lexus RC F Coupe

The Lexus RC F Coupe is cheaper than the BMW M4 Coupe, having an engine more powerful than the M4. The Lexus stays behind when it comes to torque figures but comes ahead when we talk about power. The fuel economy of the Lexus is not that much good when compared with the BMW. If one is more into luxurious surroundings in the interior then they should go for the Lexus.
